What else can I help you with?
What are things that work better less friction?
Sledding on snow, ice skating, and sliding on a playground slide are activities that work better with less friction.
Does a machine do less work when friction in a machine increases?
Yes. Since more work goes to counter the friction force, less work goes to do the actual function of the machine.
If you had a slippery floor would adding polish create more or less friction?
Polish would most likely smooth the surface creating less friction and making it more slippery.
Is it easier to lift a 50 kilogram box straight up 8 meters or slide it up an inclined plane that is 20 meters long?
While lifting it straight up is harder, overall it is less work because you do not have to contend with the friction of the inclined plane. Overcoming that friction is work done which is totally wasted.While lifting it straight up is harder, overall it is less work because you do not have to contend with the friction of the inclined plane.

Why is it difficult to walk on a smooth floor?
Walking on a smooth floor can be difficult because there is less friction between your shoes and the floor, making it harder to grip and maintain balance. Smooth floors can also be slippery, increasing the risk of slipping and falling.
What is a rolling friction?
Rolling friction is the resistance encountered by an object when it rolls over a surface. It is typically less than sliding friction because the object's shape allows for smoother movement. Rolling friction occurs between the object and the surface it is rolling on.
Why do you skid on smooth bathroom flooring?
As the bathroom becomes wet the friction between the floor and leg becomes less.
When is less friction helpful?
Less friction is helpful when trying to move objects with less resistance, such as when sliding heavy furniture across a floor or reducing wear and tear in machine parts. It is also beneficial in reducing energy consumption, such as in vehicles or machinery.
What is friction affected by?
Weight and surface affect friction. The more mass an object has more friction that will occur ex:/ It would be harder to slide an elephant across a floor than a hockey puck. This is because the large amount of friction on the elephant would slow it down. The smoother the surface the less friction. ex:/ There will be more friction on a floor of sandpaper than there would be on a floor of ice.
Which household item have friction?
Common household items that exhibit friction include rugs on the floor, drawers in a dresser, and the wheels on a shopping cart.
Why is it to stop a car on a wet road?
it is harder because there is less friction with lubrication -which is what water is -and you need friction for the breaks to work
Does friction waste more work on a longer or short?
Friction wastes more work on longer distances due to the increased surface contact and the higher energy required to overcome it. Shorter distances have less surface contact and require less energy input to overcome friction.
